Customers are impressed with the m15 R7's performance and graphics capabilities, citing its ability to handle AAA games and professional tasks with ease. Many appreciate the excellent visuals and speed. However, a common concern is the short battery life, with users reporting significantly less than two hours of use on a single charge, especially during gaming. The battery's performance is a notable drawback for some.

Just a great piece of machinery built by the pros at Alienware. Besides adding a surround sound, I haven’t had any issues. Currently playing Destiny 2, call of duty modern warfare 1 and 2 perfectly.

Punches High For Its Specs

I have been pleasantly surprised with this laptop. It packs a lot of punch for the specs. It blows through AAA games at 60+ FPS with ease. I think the cooking system is a huge contributor to this computer performing well. It does an excellent job in that department.
I tried out the X14 and it felt just a little too small to me. However, the M15 feels like the sweet spot for me.
I am writing this review based off getting the laptop at $1,400, though, not $2,000. I just wanted to mention that to be fair as it changes how I see the value to price ratio.

It's a good laptop for gaming purposes, but battery is horrible.
My battery is 97% after opening and setting up and when I shutdown the laptop and open after 30 mins, the battery is 3%.
They I realized that I need attachel the power cord all the time.
Which is not useful for my situation.
So I returned the product
But it's a great laptop for gaming and not moving the laptop from one place to another place

Its a good and powerful laptop. The performance looks good. And I like the lightning in the keyboard. The thrust of the CPU fan tells you the performance will be smooth. I had to power the laptop for the first time to start. The battery backup is average not the greatest. The plastic design could have been made much stronger by replacing with aluminum.

Loudest Computer

Decent computer; runs well and picture is good. Was able to download all of my games with no storage issue. The biggest problem was the fans. They’d go off very often and so loud everyone is my apartment could hear them. It was worse when plugged in to charge which was often because it didn’t feel like the battery lasted very long. Ultimately returned because I could not stand the noise of those fans.

This product is ight tbh ive had it for about 2 weeks now their is sum gaming issues but thats because its one of the lower tier laptops personnaly i like it mamages heat while gaming pretty well due to the 3060 dont expect to play on the best graphics this laptop isnt made for that it certainly gets the job done tho if youre looking for a budget gaming laptop then id highly recommend this to you but if youre a little over the edge needing unnecessary processing speed feel free to look at alien wares 5k x17 yeah no thanks (°_°)

Battery life is less than 2 hours and I’m not gaming, I’m just completing weekly homework. I have to leave it plugged in to get my assignments completed. All the research I did, shows 3-10 hour battery life. I will be returning to Best Buy.

Hello There OliviaIsUnsatisfied, We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review of your Alienware M15 gaming laptop. It's important for us to hear about inconsistencies in our products for consideration of future development. Below I have provided steps with the full articles that can help you improve the battery performance of your laptop.
Here are the steps to help improve the battery performance of your laptop: 1. On the notification area of the taskbar, right-click the Battery icon. 2. On the options list, click Power Options. 3. Select a power plan on the battery meter, such as Power Saver or Balanced. Windows 10 has a built-in 'Battery Saver' mode that can be activated to extend your system's battery life. The Battery Saver mode will monitor and limit background activity and other features such as push notifications. You do have the option to enable or disable this mode within settings or within advanced Battery Saver settings, you can customize the mode to best suit your needs.
a) Click on the Action Center icon in the taskbar and select the tile for Battery Saver. b) If running Cortana, type Battery Saver into the search box and select from the results. Within the Battery Saver settings page, you will be able to turn on and off the feature and customize the feature to best meet your needs. c) Turn the Battery Saver On or Off. d) Additional settings are available via the Battery use and Battery saver settings links. e) Battery use shows further info on apps and their power usage. f) Battery Saver Settings screen allows you to customize further the Battery Saver feature.
